The interior its clean that a good find for 200

 

I had to drag mine out of the weeds too But I paid $50 for mine Shes currently up and running, I have some idle issues to work out. But other than that shes gettin ready for the road again too!!!

Good luck, I like those wheels. If you want to trade them to me for some "+" style wheels I am so totally game

Good luck!

 

Mine was sitting in a yard since 95. Currently in my garage getting restored a bit at a time. The interior looks good and I like those wheels.

 

Goodluck on the resto homey, always good to see another FB being brung back to life.....

 

If those are true Panasports, cleaned up, restored they are worth more than what you paid for the car. Don't let the vultures con you into a trade for stock + wheels.

 

I like the black on black man. thats what I'm gonna do to mine but satin black on everything instead of gloss . Sweet car bro .


As for the wheels I am not planning on getting rid of them , im going to have a guy blast them with walnut shells to get all the gold paint of and then paint them satin black with a polished lip . They are not "panasports" atleast I dont think . The center caps say Carrol shelby racing.

 

I just wanted to say , All the support from you guys gives me that much more motivation to really get the ball rolling on this thing . Thanks to all


However Im in need of a driverside tailight , rear bumper cover, passenger side frnt fender and a decent gas tank aswell . So far thats the only major parts I need so If anybody knows where to find these items please let me know .

 

Any first gen you can drive is a good-looking car.

 

very nice car for the price!! i see the two spoke steering wheel and what appears to be manual mirrors. both indicators of an S model. either way, excellent purchase and keep us updated with your progress!!

 

I take it the "s" means its a base model?

It does have manual mirrors , and well manual everything.lol

 

Yeah S is the base model (my favorite btw, I like simple) Looks like you got a very good deal for $200! I got my 83 GS from a junkyard, was sitting with no tires on it for who knows how long. Took quite a while to restore, but its been my daily driver for the last 4 years and hasn't let me down yet! Good luck with your's!

 

If I'm not mistaken those carol shelby wheels are pretty rare and a good find. Cleaned up they are probably worth more than the car! Nice find. I paid 700 for mine barely running and needing a lot of work. And my interior was trashed. So 200 sounds like a deal to me! Congrats
